This is the best news in this thread, by the way. That suppressor you received is cool - but this information is a Game Changer...

HELL YEAH, BROTHER!!! That is one badass setup, right there!

I'm with you, brother. If you give people a quart of water (serious shiit, if water is the problem), you might be appreciated. If you teach them how to gather water - from shiit they had no idea about - then you just made a brand new person, that doesn't have to DEPEND on YOU... If they listened... Everything else you listed - has to fall in line after the water. That is paramount. Same principle applies, though. You can give away anything, and people won't learn from that. You can TEACH them something, and if they practice it, they'll become proficient at it. It's at that point they they turn from "Liability" to "Asset"...

1/4" wooden dowel down the barrel - it's only to prevent you hitting the other side of the barrel bore when you break through. Drill slow, LIGHT pressure, and you shouldn't even need it. Some people have a different perception of "light pressure" on the drill, though. Let the bit do the work - not pressure on the bit, and drill speed. Just let it eat.

Good one, Mack!

^^^ What he said... 9 hours later, and there's still no pics...

You actually have the UBR 2 with the 7 5/8" internal depth receiver extension, so slap either an Armalite AR-10 Carbine buffer or an AR15 Carbine H3 buffer in there, with an Armalite EA1095 recoil spring. That's what MagPul recommends for this stock anyway, for .308ARs. That's not gonna solve your problem, though - your gas port is too small, and it's gonna need measured, report back, then drilled up. Always test an adjustable gas block Wide Open, until you get a functioning gun. After that, you tailor it to your preference/load. Numbered drill bits work best for measuring gas port diameters - they're cheap, and you can pick up the Irwin brand at any Ace Hardware store.

It was the most Epic "free job" that I've done for a friend, brother. He was bitching saying he drove to work, and his gas gauge went up slightly -and he was scared, so he stopped to fill up again - but it only took a gallon... He "filled up" about three times a day for those three days... I asked him - wasn't the gas gauge going UP as you were driving?... He admitted it was, but he didn't trust it... Once he knew, and thought about it, he was laughing his ass off...

On the plus side - at least you have the proper recoil system in there. That's a big plus, too.

I'll help this out some. Clicking the links is a pain. Here's what he ^^^ posted above. The Eagle lower that was a factory built gun - this gun isn't. Almost every ban era gun had that detachable mag (couldn't get around that, then) and the pistol grip (very hard to get around that, then) - hence, any other thing on that list I posted above wasn't allowed - and barrels didn't have threads on the end of them. My point is this, and it's simple - this gun has be re-worked, and probably after the Ban Era sunset. There's no telling what it is, unless you have documented records of every parts change (that had to occur) after the 2004 sunset.

Scary times, brother - very scary. Just like here, they prey on "feelings," and try to get a political move made during that "emotional" timeframe. Exact same thing that happened to New Zealand. "Feelings and emotions." I hope Trudeau doesn't take this bite of that giant shiit sandwich.

There aren't any adjustments to make on an AR barrel extension. Zero "adjustment." Rifled barrel blank gets the extension torqued onto the barrel end at 175lb/ft, and that's the first step of the barrel build. Everything else comes after that. Once the extension is on there, then the other steps can begin.

The dog got ahold of a set of dentures...

Clinton AWB Ban Era for the lower, so it was probably built, not bought as a whole gun, factory rifle. 1994~2004, Brady Bill on handguns started a year earlier. Clinton AWB was rough. Everything had a detachable magazine, because that's what all ARs had then. Everything had a pistol grip, because that's what all ARs had then. If you had a detachable mag, then you COULD NOT HAVE TWO of these features, or it was an "Assault Weapon." Pistol Grip - again, all ARs had them. Folding or telescoping stock. Bayonet mount. Flash hider OR threaded barrel designed to accommodate one. Grenade Launcher. Since all ARs had detachable mags, and pistol grips, everything else was not legal. No threaded barrels were sold, no M16 (or variant) front sight bases were sold with bayonet mounts on them, and there were zero collapsible stocks - the Carbine stocks were gone for Ban-Era guns. Oh, and those pesky Grenade Launchers. So, you have a threaded barrel with a pinned muzzle device, you have a collapsible (MagPul) stock on a carbine recoil system, and it's hard to tell from the only full-rifle pic you provided if you have a bayonet lug (that light is in the way, the way it mounts). Chances are very, very high - that this isn't a factory-built rifle, not from that timeframe. Pretty good reason why the Armalite guy can't find all the details on that specific serial number, too.

DAMNIT!!! You're faster than me!!!

That indeed happened. Check it out - Trudeau calling for a complete ban on "Assault Weapons" - for real: https://www.foxnews.com/world/trudeau-ban-on-assault-style-weapons-shooting-death-toll-rises

I've posted it here before, but I have no idea what topic it's in. There is a minimal, regular velocity drop, per inch, down to 11.5" 5.56 barrels. When you drop one more inch, down to 10.5", there's a significant drop in velocity. 11.5" is the lowest I said I'd ever do - but then I built a 7.5".

Call him back and ask him what barrel you had installed, per serial number. They're pretty consistent about where they mark their barrels. @mrraley, and input on this one, brother?

Did you see any markings at all on it, when you had it apart for the rail install?...

Kinda - the fish really are there, but you really need to focus to find them... So many distractions there, in that video... Prime example of what I'm talking about, brother...

I thought I was gonna need to drive over there, and get you to check my eyeballs, those first 3 times. It was pretty scary. Then, I saw them...

2 trigger fish, lobsters and conch. Don't worry, Eye Doc - that you didn't see them... I had to watch it 4 times to see the fish...

If it's a National Match model, that's gonna be marked on their barrel with a "NM" in the barrel specs. Here's an example of the Armalite barrel markings for that: That should be visible without taking anything apart - it's in front of the gas block.

I'll bet it is, with that barrel. What a great score. For the upper, try calling Armalite, and talking to them. LOCAL: 623-780-1050 TOLL FREE: 800-336-0184 Hours of Operation: M-F 7am – 4pm MST

Yep, how to catch, clean and cook lobster and conch. Oh, and trigger fish. I've never seen a tutorial on the subject, here. I found it highly valuable information, and wanted to make sure I passed it on to you guys. Enjoy.
